Looking for a healthy stir fry recipe? Here’s a better approach: a flexible, step-by-step framework that shows you how to mix and match protein, veggies, aromatics, and sauce into quick, delicious meals. Instead of one recipe, you’ll learn how to create endless stir fry variations with confidence.
Ratatouille
My favourite way to “eat the rainbow” and get a wide variety of colourful vegetables in one dish, this simple dish is one of my top picks for cooked vegetables. It’s great alongside any number of different protein options - pan roasted chicken breast, steak, roast lamb, meatloaf, grilled prawns…its versatile flavours make it an easy pairing with almost anything.
I credit one of my favourite Chef-Instructors back in culinary school, Chef Serge Devesa, for introducing me to the wonders of ratatouille, and how just a handful of humble ingredients, judicious use of just a few herbs and seasonings, and patience to let the flavours develop could produce something marvelous!
This high-fibre, nutrient dense but low calorie side dish is an excellent choice for On-Protocol weeks, but sacrifices no flavour and requires no changes vs. Maintenance / regular eating.
Guilt-Free Caesar-Style Dressing
Craving a Caesar salad but want to stay On-Protocol? This lightened-up Caesar dressing is the perfect way to indulge without compromise. Creamy and flavourful, this dressing pairs beautifully with a chicken or prawn Caesar salad, delivering all the satisfaction you love while keeping your meals lean and clean.
With only 13 calories per 2-tablespoon serving, it’s a fantastic option for your favorite greens or as a zesty dip for vegetables. It may not be the heavy, classic Caesar of your dreams, but it’s a guilt-free way to elevate your meals and hit your daily nutritional targets. Prep a batch to keep your salads exciting all week long—because delicious doesn’t have to mean off-track.
Guilt-Free Ranch-Style Dressing
Looking for a guilt-free way to enjoy creamy Ranch dressing without derailing your diet?
This low-calorie alternative is the perfect dip for veggies or dressing for salads, delivering a burst of flavour and a satisfying texture to liven up your meals. While it’s not an exact match for the rich, indulgent original, this recipe is a fantastic way to stay On-Protocol and hit your daily servings of vegetables with ease.
Whether you're meal-prepping for the week or just need a quick, healthy accompaniment to your favorite greens, this dressing has your back—no compromise necessary!
I’m still tweaking the recipe to really dial in the flavour, but it’s quite tasty as-is.
Hearty Braised Greens
Hearty Braised Greens - get your chard and kale on with this delicious side dish. Pairs really well with grilled/roasted meats for a Mediterranean flavour, and packs a ton of nutrition into a smallish serving on the plate.
